Paul Johnson

Former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson, a Democrat, encountered McCain's
temper when he and other local mayors briefed the Arizona congressional
delegation on local issues. After Johnson spoke, McCain said, "Hold it a
minute. Somebody write down everything this guy has to say. You know
what, we need to record him. It's best to get a liar on tape."

Johnson stood up and said, "Senator, if you have a problem with me, why
don't we go out in the hallway and talk about it."

"You're goddamn right I have a problem with you," McCain said. "They've
been treating you like a princess in Phoenix while they've been burning
me over this dam deal, and I'm sick of it."
